The next morning, the sun shines through the gauze-like curtains into the exquisite boudoir.
Madam lazily sat up from the bed. Her maid Xiaolian was already ready and waiting to dress her up.
Xiaolian picked up a finely crafted wooden comb and gently combed the lady's long hair.
The long hair is like a waterfall, hanging on the lady's shoulders, shining with a healthy luster.
The lady tilted her head slightly and asked softly: "The weather looks good today, doesn't it?"
Xiaolian looked up and looked out the window and replied: "It's a rare good weather."
The weather is fine, and my wife's mood will be better.
The lady smiled and nodded, "That's good, we can go out for a walk today."
Xiaolian carefully tied up the lady's hair into a bun and inserted an exquisite jade hairpin.
Then, she took out a gorgeous long dress from the closet. The lady looked at it and frowned slightly.
Xiaolian said aggrievedly: "Since Young Master left, these clothes have been left idle. It's a pity. I think..."
"It's not your fault, it's my fault." Madam said calmly, "Just wear the original one."
"yes!"
After a while, the lady changed her clothes.
It was a white dress, and the dress fluttered with the breeze entering the house, like a white flower, lonely and sad.
Her figure looked even thinner in the morning light, making people feel a little bit pitiful.
"Madam, here it is!" Xiaolian handed over a mirror and asked Madam to see what she looked like.
The beautiful lady looked into the mirror, a smile appeared on her lips, and then her expression turned gloomy.
Her face was like jade, reflecting the sadness in her heart.
There is deep melancholy and sadness hidden in the bright eyes.
My hand gently stroked my reflection in the mirror. That was the happiness I once had, but now it can only become a memory.
Xiaolian looked at Madam and couldn't help feeling sad.
When Mr. Shao Lang was still here, Madam always had a smile on her face every day.
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps in the courtyard.
"Madam, something serious has happened!"
It was the voice of Shopkeeper Qiu.
The lady came to the door accompanied by Xiaolian.
"Shopkeeper Qiu, why are you so panicked?"
Shopkeeper Qiu's face turned pale and he stammered: "Madam, something bad has happened, then... Then Cui Qi and Manager Cui, they had a fight at the gate of Lou Mansion last night, and they both died!"
The lady's expression changed, and an expression of astonishment slowly covered her face like falling snow.
"How could this happen?" The lady murmured to herself, her voice sounding hollow and weak.
Cui Qi and Cui Guanshi came here because of Songhe Tower and her affairs. By coincidence, both of them died.
"Shopkeeper Qiu, don't be impatient. Speak slowly!"
Shopkeeper Qiu trembled and told what happened.
When he finished speaking, the lady just looked at him silently, her beautiful eyes now full of doubts.
"Madam, Lou Shaokang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. I am afraid that my wife will be implicated in this matter, so I came here to inform my wife. I hope she will make preparations in advance."
Shopkeeper Qiu heard about the Lou family early in the morning.
Even though Lou Shaokang ordered this matter to be kept secret, there is no airtight wall in the world. The fact that Cui Qi and Cui Guanshi fought to death and died was still spread through various channels, and the news was spread by people with noses and eyes.
Shopkeeper Qiu didn't even have breakfast, so he came over to tell his wife that he was also eager to protect his master.
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Qiu." Madam nodded slightly, "But, do you know what the two of them were arguing about?"
Although Madam cannot be said to be calm in the face of danger, she is not dizzy either. Only by understanding the reasons why the two men took action can we formulate better countermeasures.
Shopkeeper Qiu shook his head repeatedly: "I haven't figured it out yet. The matter is urgent. I hope Madam can make a decision soon!"
This is the only thing he can do. As for how to make a decision, Shopkeeper Qiu has no idea at all.
"How about Madam asking Chen Xiaolangjun, maybe he can find a solution?"
Shopkeeper Qiu was so impressed by Chen Chang's operations at Songhe Tower that he would have to ask Chen Chang about this matter.
Madam's beautiful eyes lit up, yes, how could she forget him.
Xiaolian said anxiously: "Shopkeeper Qiu, has Mr. Chen ever been to Songhe Tower?"
"I've never seen him before. However, Lao Qiu can go find him right away!"
"Thank you..."
"No need to look for it, I'm here!"
Before the lady finished speaking, Chen Chang appeared in the courtyard.
Really talking about Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived, the eyes of Madam and Xiaolian were filled with surprise, and even Shopkeeper Qiu's orange-peeled old face also blossomed.
With Chen Chang, there is a backbone, and he must have a way.
Chen Chang saw the ceremony and said straight to the point: "Madam, Shopkeeper Qiu, are you two doing something about the Lou family?"
Shopkeeper Qiu said eagerly: "Exactly, Chen Langjun, you came just in time, how should we deal with this matter?"
The lady said nothing and looked at Chen Chang eagerly.
Chen Chang glanced around, and his wife immediately understood and led them into the room.
Xiaolian also stood at the door with a very eye-catching look, not letting outsiders approach.
Chen Chang said: "There is currently no evidence that the deaths of the Cui brothers are related to Madam and Songhe Tower, is there?"
Madam and Shopkeeper Qiu looked at each other, Shopkeeper Qiu nodded and said: "That's right. But they both have been to Songhe Tower recently, and..."
The next words involved my wife, so I didn’t go on.
Chen Chang smiled faintly: "That's good. How can a weak woman, Madam, be related to the infighting between the Cui brothers?"
Shopkeeper Qiu nodded. This was correct, but it didn't seem right.
"Chen Langjun, Lou Shaokang is not an easy man. Even if he has no evidence, he will still find trouble in Songhe Tower. Do we have to be on guard?"
Madam looked at Chen Chang. She had the same idea. It doesn't matter just because you say it doesn't matter. The initiative rests in Lou Shaokang's hands.
Xiao Lian at the door was so depressed that her face turned red, waiting for Chen Chang's next words.
"It's true that the Lou family has a great business, but he is a businessman after all. He can only bully some small households. What will he do if he meets someone from the officialdom?"
"This..." Madam pursed her lips tightly.
Shopkeeper Qiu said: "The Lou family naturally does not dare to compete with the government, but how can we get the government to support us in Songhe Tower?"
If it had connections with the government, Songhe Tower wouldn't have been constantly being squeezed out by peers, to the point where it had to be resold a few days ago if it couldn't continue to operate.
"Madam, please don't forget that in Jiangling City, besides Lou Shaokang's Lou family, there is another Lou family!"
The lady's eyes lit up again: "You mean Qingyi?"
"Ma'am, please feel free to understand this key point!"
Experience?
How do I feel about it?
Lou Qingyi is your wife, how should I speak?
Shopkeeper Qiu slapped his thigh: "I think this plan is very good! Madam, you have a close relationship with the eldest lady of the building. If our Songhe Tower business has a share of the Lou family, then if Lou Shaokang wants to disturb Songhe Tower, I'm afraid he will
It’s time to weigh it carefully.”
There was a war between heaven and man in Madam's mind, and she couldn't make up her mind for a moment.
Chen Chang said from the side: "Not only the Lou family, but also the Wang family will become shareholders of Songhe Tower!"
